Former prime minister Kevin Rudd says he had always been one of the "biggest opponents" of the "factional dimension of Labor politics" and there should be room for both Ed Husic and Kristina Keneally in the new shadow cabinet.

The former PM discusses how the Liberal Party could bring more women to Parliament, the revolving door of political leadership, and the importance of having difficult conversations ahead of World Mental Health Day.

On January 31, 2018, ABC News reported on a document prepared in April 2009 for the Strategic Priorities and Budget Committee (SPBC) warning of critical risks in the roll-out of the Energy Efficient Homes Package.
